The Court was occupied in hearing causes, none of which were of any public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH - , JAN. 26. HOB9Oll AND NAlteifiAL v. RJCR. This was an action against Sir Charles Rich, as the acceptor of a bill of exchange for 1,01)01., of which the plaintiffs were the holders. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, at Guildhall, it was proved on behalf of the defendant that this bill, and three Others 'for similar sums at long dates, were obtained from t h e d e f en d ant ore a consideration, whichl had proved wholly valueless. These hills were transferred to the plaintiff's by Messers. Meyer and•llazard, who were indebted to them greatly beyond the amount of the securities; and the case was left to the Jury . on the question, whether there was any money advanced or fresh credit given on the faith of these bills, as the Lord Chief Justice held that the pre-existing debt Would not suf fi ce to give the pl a i n tiff s a t i t l e to the bill as against a J ury, un d er aceeptance had been obtained by fraud. The Jury, under thissfireetien, returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. GURNEV no* moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict should not b e set aside and a new trial had, on the ground that the existing debt did form a good consitieratiOn for the transfer of the bills, and entitled the plaintiffs to sue as bona fide holders, and urged the importance of the point, and the magnitude of t h e sum; as reasons why the case should un dergo a revision. He stated that_ the plaintiffs had become bankrupts since the trial. The Cotr ft T granted a rule to chew cause. LLOYD V. ..tglinY A*o oTlielit. This was an action on * bill of exchange against three parties Shaw, Ashby, and Rowland, as the - acceptors of a bill of ex change. The acceptance was in, the handwriting of Rowland, and iv:is given for a debt of his own, he being at the time in partnership with th e oth er d e f en d ants, b ut lir. Shaw being a dormant partner. The Lord Chit Justice held that a dormant partner, who lends no credit to the firm of which he is a nietn bar, is only liable in respect of contracts in which he has an in terest, and not generally for any liability incurred by his part ners ; and accordingly the plaintiff was nonsuited. Mr. Ni Alt ItYATT now moved for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, on the ground that where a bill is accepted by one of several partners in the name of the firm it is taken on the credit of the whole firm, of whomsoever it may be composed,—The COURT granted a rule to show Cause. RAOSTER V. LORD PORTSMOUTH. This was an anction by Bagster and aschmakers, of Long-acre, agai ns t L or d P ortsmout h , for Co., die use and hire of a phaeton, and landau, from 1818 to 1824. At the trial before the Lard Chief Justice at Westminster, the inquisition finding Lord Portsmouth of unsound mind, and unfit for the ma. nagenivot of his ufl'airs from January, 1805, was relied on as evidence that he had no contracting mind by which lie alone could be rendered liable; but the Lord Chief Justice thought the carriages suitable to his estate and degree, and that therefor e h e was li a bl e to pay for them ; and accord ingly a verdict was found fur the plaintiff, with liberty to mate for a nonsuit. 31r. Munroe(Ast now moved accordingly fur a rule to show cAuse why the verdict should not be set aside anti a nonsuit entered. On principle, and independent of any cases, it would seem quite clear that a person of insane mind could make no valid contract express or implied, as wanting the power which was essential to the very meaning of the term. The old law undoubtedly was so ; subsequently the -doctrine that no one should be admitted to stultify. himself sprung up; but this, again, had been considerably limited in latter times. It also might be doubted whether the present defence came within that doctrine; because here the Crown had interposed, anti the party had been found a lunatic; and as the Inquisition had relation back, and avoided instruments executed during the period to which it applied, it should also avoid any parole con tracts made by a party in this incompetent condition. Mr. Justice BAYLEY asked whether there was any decision which established that a lunatic might not be responsible for necessaries—if he went to a butcher for meat, or to a tailor for clothes. 111 r. ilsouortasz said, undoubtedly inconveniences might arise from holding that , lie was not responsible.for necessaries ; but there would also be obvious inconveniences from a con. miry decision; and in this particular instance It was very de• siruble that the protection, it affOrded by the law, should be applied to the noble defendant, us an order had been made for an account of all his debts in the Master's office, where claims would be examined, and, if just, discharged. 31r. SCAILLETT observed, tllitt when, at the trial, he had admitted the unsoundness of Lord Portmnotith's mind, he understood it to be also conceded to him, that during the time when the debt was incurred, the defendant wits at large in society, and acting in the management of his affairs. The LOUD Cum . JUSTICE said, that it appeared from the plintifri evidence, that Lord Portsmouth frequently drove the phaeton, and occasionally rode in the landau, winch was also used by his lady. At the trial lie was of opinitm that the evidence of unsoundness of nand was not such as to deprive a creditor of his right to recover for necessaries ordered and ac tually enjoyed by the defendant; but lie distinguished this case from Instances of unexecuttsl contracts which /night bear on the nice of them marks of insanity, anti in which imposis tion might form a legal answer to a demand founded upon them. —fie thought, therefore, there was nothing in this case to im• peach-the right of the plaintiffs to recover. }lr. Justice BAYLEY expressed his opinion that the mere fact of a person being found of unsound mind, and incompe. tent to the management of his affairs, was not sufficient to de prive an honest creditor to be paid for goods sup_plied to his order anti for his use. It was often extremely difficult to de tect unsoundness of mind • 'Alen impossible t o a stranger; f or many persons afflicted with mental disease were perfectly col. heeled on all subjects but one, on which their delusions were awakened. lie therefore held the ruling and the verdict right. The other Judges concurred, and accordingly no rule was granted, riEuELLio v. cIiowTHER. - - ----- This was an action to recover the price of the maintenance of an illegitimate child, at the rate of 12s. per week. The de fendant itt ltllB agreed to allow this sum : but In February, 1020, wrote a letter, expressing his intention to allow it no longer, unless the mother should filiate the child before a Ma gistrate. As the anent arose subsequent to this letter, the Lord Chief Justice held that the defendant was not liable, and nonsuited the plaintiff: VcAttLETT now moved for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should sot be set aside, contending that by the law of nature the father of an illegitimate child was bound to support it; and that, at all events, his revocation of a contract so to support it niust not be conditional, but absolute. The COURT held the nonsuit right. Prima Aide every maw was bound to supply necessaries for his legitimate chit= dren; but the law recognized no man as the father of an ille gitimate child till it had been fainted in the prescribed course._..• As his engagement was voloritaryi he might put an end to it when he chose; and he had put an end to it by his letter. WILLOUGHBY T. This was an action by an innkeeper of Cheater against the proprietor of the Closter Clerunick for a libel. The libel was headed " The Willoughby Controversy," and referred to some proceedings in Chancery between the plaintiff and Lord Grosvenor, his landlord. It appeared ham the article itself, and from the evidence, that there had been a paper war be tween the parti es , an d t h at t h e plaintiff h a d hi mself sent ar. tides to another Chester p ia ap in er ti ca w_ llet p l an t ) h a e ge t.r o a t n u t . , but these returned articlesw a er v e er n d o i t c il t u fo t r in th O e p n the part of the defendant. The J ur y The ATTORNEY-GE N ER A L now moved fin' a new trial, on the ground of excessive damages. Ile ad m i tte d that he could not set aside the verdict, because the jury had given something too much; but he submitted that under the cir. cut-nuances, the damages were altogether disproportioned to the injury. The LORD CHIFF JUsTICE—If I had estimated the da. males, I should not h a v e g i ven so.much ; but I cannot Li n d Luat With .the jury, because when they find the Mimr of a newspaper libelling one of their fellow.subjects, they make hint pay for it. If _editors .will make a trade .of they must abide the consequences. The AT TO 11 BEY 43 E II AL—lt appeared that the plaintiff had himself sent articles to the Courant. Th e L ont , c u j urtm w E—Hut e did f a nnt know what they were; you d m, id not put them in ; and in action had been brotight against eta Courrw.l, and heavy damages had bms given, I should not have found fault with the jury. Mr. Scan LICTT—if the Courant had been put in, I should have,got 0001. it was no libel at all. The Loan Cater JusTlCE.'—On the whole y o u are per . haps well off. though I shot.tid not have given so much. We Cannot disturb the verdict. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 2ff. SNOW AND OTHERS PEACOCK Akii oTanns. Mr. Sergeant Wit.nE moved for a rule. calling on the plain tiffs to skew cause why the verdict returned by the Jury in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. It was an action of trover brought by the plaintiff s , w h o are b ankers in the Strand, against the defendants, who are also hankers, and carry on bu,iness in Lincolnshire, to recoler the amount of a SOW. Bank of - England note, under the following cit. eamstances. The plaintiff's had, received a dividend -warrant from one of their customers, which they sent by their porter for payment to the Bank ot' England, ~The porter received the money, amounting to 1,30Q1., but was robbed do his way home from the pank, and' died shortly afterwards.-- Theplaintiffs caused the notes td be adv,ltieed, and in Ewen or eight months afterwards one of thelM, which was for five hundred pounds, was paid into the bank of Messrs. Hoare and Company, who heti taken it of a person calling himself Edwards, a stranger to them, but of whom, as they entertain. ed no suspicion respecting the note, they asked no questions when they were changing it for him. The trial took place be fore Chief Justice Best, in the sittings after last term; and his Lordship, in summing up, left it the Jury to consider, first, whether the plaintiffs had taken sufficient care to make the robbery of the notes known to the public ; and, secondly, whe ther the defendants had used due caution when changing the note in question. Th e Jur y h av i ng found for the plaintiff; the Learned Serjeant contended, that the verdict ought to be set aside, on the grounds—first, of insuffleient evidence; second, of evidence having been received which ought to have been rejected; and third, of' misdirection on the pact of the Learned Judge. The Learned Serjeant did not much stress on the tw o first points, but rested his case principally upon the last; contending strongly, that the Learned Judge ought to have stated, that the defendants being the honest holders of the note (which was part of the lawful circulating medium of the coun try) for valuable consideration, were entitled to a verdict.__ The Count granted a rule Nisi. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, J AW. LIBEL—THE ZING, AT THE PROSEdUTION OF SIR JOHN mormocK, V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE DUBLIN EVENING HAIL. Mr. DEANE URADY applied to the Court to appoint Thurs. day next, if convenient to the Court, for the trial of this cause. Sir John Mortlock, he maid, held a high public situation, to which there were most important duties attached, the perform ance of some of which required his inimediate attendance in Scotland. The Attorney. General and himself (Mr. Grady) were confident that the trial would not last any time ; indeed a proposition had been made by the defendant to give up the author or authors of the libel to the Board of Excise; and the matter was even then in progress, and would probably be com pleted on the present day (Monday) • still, in case i t was not, ' , he was anxious, for the reasons he had mentioned, to have a n early day fixed for the trial. The Loan 'ClitEr JUSTICE said, as a compromise Was pending, he conceived it would ke the better way for Mr. Grady to let his application stand over until Tuesday. HOMICIDE IN . DUEL.—THE XING v. 1101AVELL AND MAGRATII. Mr. WALLACE applied to the Court to admit the defend.: ants, both prisoners, to bail. They had been .found guilty by a coroner's inquest of homicide, the one of the actual homf. cide, the other for being present as an accessory. The homi cide took place in a duel, which, it appeared by notes taken at the inquest, Was occasioned by, certatnly, the gross.behaviou liam r of the deceased in spitting in the face of the tiefendant, Boswell. The duel, it appeared, was a fair one, as' far as such combats can be considered fair. It appeared by the notes alluded to, that the first shot was given by the deceased ; and that by the opposite party returning the shot, the deceased met his death. nere was no intention on the part of the relatives of the deceased to prosecute; for when the matter came before two of their Lordships in Chamber, there was no opposition given by the persona most interested to admit the defendants to bail. The Attorndy-General made no objection, and an assent for him would be expressed to the Court; he (Mr. Wallace) therefore trusted the Court would not allow the prisoners to re main in custody until the Assizes, as bail to any amount, no matter how large, would be given. The CHIEF JusTILIE said emphatically, "It is quite possible for the Court to entertain the motion." ARREST OF A BARRISTER IN coutor, ON A CHARGE OF BURGLARY AND ROBBERY. An extraordinary circumstance occurred in the Court before their Lordships sat. Mr. Richard Radford Roe, a barrister, was, while sitting in the Court, arrested by Hartley, a peace officer. Mr. Roe demanded to see the warrant. Mr. /lanky refused to comply with fur. Roe's demand. Mr. Roe—Sir, I must see by what authority you attempt to arrest me here.

WIT 1K 0 I'. —M r . ma omat i Width:nun having Complained of the mis-representatious that had appeared in the paper* respecting the state of Fleet -street, presented a Report to the Lord Mayor,' whi:9l detailed the exs.. .riiinations.of the witnesses Who had attended the' Vestry the day beliire. The Report also mention cd, that the enudition of Fleet street had been for P. long tithe progressively improving —ties,' groups of thievei were not to be seen prOWlie abeet day and night, and that robb er i es wer e far front being; re q ueue---that Old.; lest females were not subject to insult there; that, in fact, the.. character of the Street would not sink in the cotripariaon with an y other equally populous thoroughfare in the City of London.— The LORD MAvon was rejoieedto say that fleet-street had benefltted greatly by the inquiry that had taken place, and that not one of those evils, which had been represented as grievous, and appeared to be most formidable, was any tenger to be ap prehended. Alderman iVaithrnan referred to the Vestry Report, which contained the plein statements of the police and the In habitants, All of whom concurred in saying, that Fleet-street was WI well superintended by the police, and as free from of fensivo ch!racters and houses us any populous street in the me teopolis.-111 r. Butterivorth suited, that he certainly considered the Report at variance with the feet. lie had lived in Fleet-. street for many }ears and he mu s t d ec l are that he had never aeon that stre e t i n so years, a condition as it had liven in latterly. The public were certainty greatly indebted to the Lord Mayor for the promptitude with which he had attended to the application for additional officers, whom it had beer: ibund necessary to employ, in order to check the evils which were new declared not to have existed. After a great deal of conversation, in which it was stated, that Fleet -street was now as free as any street from bad characters, and that the public.: houses were conducted in an orderly and quiet manner, the Alderman and Common Council of the Ward returned thanks to the Lord Mayor, and retired from the Justice Room. , WORSHIP -STREE T . ttratottbriewnv OUTItAGE, aaria RgstsrasicE OF LE GAL PROCEB4.—FOT some days past Brown's-lane, Spina. fields, has been kept in a state of tumult and confusion in consequence of a currier, named Edwa r d L awson, hating armed between thirty and forty men in his house, and put the whole of his extensive premises in a state of complete fortification against all officers who might attempt' to tate cute any legal process. The first person who entered was the King's Tax-gatherer; he and his attendants were very roughly used, and speedily ejected. Fur this resistance a war rant for an assault was immediately granted at this Office, and one of the police officers was directed to execute it. In the mean time the Exciseman obtuined entrance for the discharge of his duty, but was cut with one of their weapons, and instant. ly turned into the street. Yesterday, about nine o'clock in the morning, a, placard, addressed to. the Weavers of Spitaltields and Bethnal-green, was stuck on a piece of intrhog,any, and. nailed to the shutters of Lawson's shop. It was of :t most se.* ditious and inflammatory nature, calling upon the weavers-to use force ofarms for the redress of their grievances, and repro.. Renting he was then shelving them an example of resistance—. In the course of yt.sterday it wits also appointed ibtt the our: rants of the Commissioners of Bankrupts should be executed 4 for the purpose of gaining possession of Lawson's premises, and it was the order of the Magistrates that the ,tssault warrant should also be executed. Lawson and his adherents having pined intelligence of these proceediniar, redoubled their Marts strongly fortifying the house, and furnishing themselves with an additional number of deadly weapons. 'All the policeofficers of this establishment were dispatched to Brown' _lane an the early part of the day, but not seeing Lawson in the horm, they returned. About two o'clock they visited the house again, whicle at that time was surrounded by a great multitude. One of Lawson's men appeared on a wall from the back premises ; the officers desired him to come down, and he would see it was only an assault warrant. The man descended and read the warrant, and the officers requested hint to return and infrirm his master. Presently the man appeared again, and s a id, hi s master wanted time to con s id er , and Wished to postpone it till seven o'clock. The officers having seen, front an adjoining hay.: loft, that Lawson was on the premises, and observing that the . multitude was increasing, anti that lives might be lost if they waited till it was dark, commenced their work of breaking into the premises. 13y means of crow-hags and other instruments, they succeeded its pulling down a high wall between the strict and the backyard; still behind there was a formidable barrier of immense pieces of wood and stone. Armstrong ascended a lad der anti looked over. He was immediately attacked by Law.: son with a long pike, which he thrust several thnet, and of length wounded that officer in the hand. Vann, seeing the blood flow, called out to Armstrong t o s h oot him: Hanley im mediately handed a pistol, and Armstrong tired : Lawson called out that he was shot, and retreated into a door-way, from whence he still kept his pike presented. Armstrong being on the top of the ladder with tire-arms, kept Lawson and his men at bay, till the wall gave way, when Armstrong and Vann en tered, followed by the other officers. On coming up to LAW. son, he said he surrendered, and dropped id s pik e into his • brother's hands. The officers searched the place ; the men had tied, but they f oun d near thirty pikes, which consisted a a long pole, with a knif e about eight inches lo ng stuc k ' to t h e at end ot it. Some of th e knives were ground on the b ac k, ting a cut.and.thrust sword. They Mural also the front part of the premises strongly barrieudoed w i t h l arg e p l anks of mahogany, and with large hogsheads full of brickbats, Anti the whole of the premises in a state of defence calculated to resist military pnwer Land Lawson, his brother, anti a man, were brought to th e o ffi ce ; and on examination before Samuel Twyford, Esq., Lawson and his brother were committed to the House of Correction for further examindtion. Lawson slightly wounded in the thigh. It appears that the Multtilltio collected in the street on this occasion, amounting to upwath of a thousand • p eop l e, behaved with a propriety that re i fleets the highest credit on their judgment and disposition, par ticularly at a time when so many thousands in the immediate , vicinity are in want of cmployment. It was noticed, that whert, the officers were making the breach, Lawson 'a sister addremed the multitude ftom the front window, calling upon 'them to tight in their own cause, and not let her brother be talten. The multitude answered her by hisses and groans, at the same time encouraging the of leas to do their. duty. • MAR LIIOROVLIII-S'rftEET. 11 7 ; llarrogan, an Irish labourer, was charged with having committed a riot, and with having } assaulted a Mrs. Latitb, ut her own house in Ilenry.street, fiampstead.road.
